BEIJING - The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) of the Communist Party of China (CPC) on Wednesday issued detailed measures to prevent officials and CPC cadres from committing acts of corruption and to strengthen the supervision mechanism.
The measures, with three chapters and 58 articles, explain and implement the rules for the guidelines to prevent corruption issued in January, said a CCDI official.
The measures specify punishments for officials personally engaged in business operations and for the spouses or offspring of officials who run businesses. Measures to recover profits gained from part-time jobs or illicit housing were also specified.
The official said the measures showed the CPC Central Committee's resolution to fight corruption by establishing a sophisticated prevention system.
